In a deeply sorrowful turn for Fiji Rugby, head coach Simon Raiwalui announced the dismissal of three prominent players following a tragic incident and concerns over their behavior. The decision, made after thorough internal discussions, was described as necessary to uphold the team’s values and ensure the integrity of Fiji Rugby on and off the field.
Reports indicate that the players, whose names have not been released, were involved in a tragic accident that left the rugby community shaken. However, subsequent issues surrounding their behavior and attitudes in the aftermath of the incident prompted Raiwalui to take swift and decisive action.
“This is a difficult decision, but one that respects the gravity of recent events and our responsibility as role models in the rugby community,” said Raiwalui in an emotional statement. “We extend our deepest condolences to all affected by the tragedy and will continue to provide our players and staff with support through this difficult time.”
Fiji’s rugby community has reacted with a mix of sorrow and support for the team’s leadership, recognizing the difficult balance of addressing off-field concerns while continuing to foster a strong, resilient squad.
